    Well we shouldn’t be letting them back out so rehabilitation is pointless and impossible anyway. If you can’t understand that fucking kids is bad without being institutionalized you’re a lost cause

        No one has a moral right to fuck kids either and they have to be dealt with so they don’t fuck more kids. There is no “context” that makes that excusable.

          Just how they rehabilitate murderers, other sexual offenders, and who not. People change over time. The part that doesn’t change (for pedophiles) is their attraction to children (unless, well, they intentionally do something like chemical castration or whatever), but that’s not their crime, the act is their crime. If an examination by mental health specialists and who not deems they won’t commit such crimes anymore, there’s no reason at all to keep them locked up. Maybe with certain amount of tracking.

            Mental health specialists are wrong all the time. Prisoners lie to get out of prison. No amount of risk to children is acceptable, especially for someone who’s already proven themselves a danger. There is no benefit to anyone besides the predator letting them back out.

              Rehabilitation doesn’t have to go as far as letting them back out. There are different kinds of conditions, of ability to communicate with the outside world, to work etc. One might even make special isolated settlements where people live almost as if they were free, but can’t escape.

                Why bother with all that when it only benefits child molesters? They should be happy with the fact that our justice system is flawed enough that we can’t just execute them like they deserve. There are valuable members of society those resources could be directed towards.
